Driving delivery across Workday modules (e.g. HCM, Recruitment, Talent, Compensation)
Ensuring transition from project delivery into BAU operating models
Keeping a strong focus on benefits realisation, adoption, and ROI
Coordinating internal teams and external partners to maintain pace and quality

Comfortable managing evolving requirements and complex stakeholders
Excellent communication skills, including senior leadership and board-level updates
Ability to operate autonomously and drive momentum
Duration: Contract through to December 2026
